About this product

Product Information

It's 13th-century Europe and a young monk, Michael Scot, has been asked by the Holy Roman Emperor to translate the works of Aristotle and recover his "lost" knowledge. The Scot sets to his task, traveling from the Emperor's Italian court to the translation schools of Toledo and from there to the Moorish library of C rdoba. But when the Pope deems the translations heretical, the Scot refuses to desist. So begins a battle for power between Church and State--one that has shaped how we view the world today.

Reviews
"For explorers of the Middle Ages, in all their different aspects, this is an excellent book, a novel of ideas rather than artificially worked local colour." --Peter Costello, Irish Catholic Newspaper "[T]his is a book that will appeal to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, and the philosophical ideas of translation and interpretation." --NJ McGarrigle, Irish Times Newspaper, "Mac Donald has succeeded in making the art of translation centre stage in a thrilling, witty, violent and mysterious debut filled with scheming characters." --Jen Calleja, author and translator, shortlisted for The Man Booker International Prize, " A Matter of Interpretation stages with mastery and verve the eternal conflict between knowledge and truth... A lesson for our own times." --Zrinka Stahuljak, Professor of Medieval Studies at UCLA, "This page-turning novel reveals a world that seems at once alien but eerily familiar, and MacDonald has an unerring eye for detail and memorable characters. Highly recommended." --Lucinda Byatt, Historical Novel Society, "The characters, setting and the issues at stake will all linger long after you've finished reading it." --Domitilla Campanile, Professor of History, University of Pisa, "Mac Donald's style is crisp and captivating." --Biancamaria Rizzardi, Professor of English Literature, University of Pisa, "In lush historic prose, Elizabeth Mac Donald leads the reader on a complex journey, where all interactions are tinged with superstition and suspicion" --Nuala O'Connor, author of Becoming Belle, "This extraordinary novel ranges wide across the political and religious map of medieval Europe." --Peter Sirr, Translator, Novelist and Award-Winning Poet

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
